I can see Evil bay getting flooded with skins now welcome to the 50p skins.

[Guest Ditch_Shitter]

Indeed, Martin. And, as one who's meddled in Taxidermy, with a particular slant towards skin preservation, I can assure the unwary that messing with rabbit skins - without knowing the correct techniques - isn't worth fifty f*cking pence to Anyone!

 

In fact, if that eight quid guy's selling properly suaeded bun skins? Knowing what - and how much Hard - work goes into that process? Well; F*cked if I'd sell them so cheaply!

Yep... know where you're coming from. I salt cured some when i was a lad and they were like cardboard. Tried rubbing them against a concrete post and even took and power drill with a wire brush attachment to them (dad was a bit pissed with that one). Eventually used a wet cure using Alum and salt and a bit of washing powder (can't remember the proportions) and got some relatively supple ones. Trouble was they were thinning coats to summer pleage by the time i figured this out... never really bothered after that. May give it another crack....
